The Steinhardt Museum of Natural History (SMNHTAU) is a recognized National Research and a Central Research Infrastructure. With >90% of the country’s taxonomists and with three active Centers charged with surveying and monitoring Israel’s nature, is the most active hub of biodiversity research in Israel. It is home of the National Collections of Natural History with over 5.5 million scientific specimens that record the biodiversity of the region over the past century.

Jawaharlal Nehru Tropical Botanic Garden and Research Institute (JNTBGRI) is one of the pioneer institutes in India devoted to the conservation and sustainable utilization of tropical biodiversity. The plant conservation activities of JNTBGRI are aligned with the targets laid out under the Global Strategy for Plant Conservation (GSPC), which are highly relevant to all the targets under SDG 15. We are now home to over 4000 species, including several species endemic to the Western Ghats. JNTBGRI is unique in its conservation actions with conservatories for all major plant groups and exclusive conservatories for threatened species in India. JNTBGRI is structured in such a way that garden and research and development activities are carried out in an inclusive manner.

Biobank of blood and DNA from amphibian, reptiles, birds, mammals and their hemoparasites from Apicomplexan, Kinetiplastida and Nematoda taxa. Samples are stored in ethanol, SET buffer or EDTA at -20°C. DNA extracted from some infected and non-infected vertebrate are resuspended in TE and stored at -20°C. GERPH collection also has microscopic preparations as specimen voucher material and photographic record of the hosts.

The Huntington Botanical Gardens living collections comprise over 29,000 taxa representing some 16,000 species. This diverse collection is cultivated in twenty-one named gardens across 160 acres of public space, which also include art museums and a research library. Examples of core botanical collections include Agavaceae, Araceae, Arecaceae, Cactaceae, Camellia, Cycadales, Euphorbiaceae, Magnolia, Orchidaceae, and Rosa, among others. Research programs at the Gardens include molecular systematics and conservation genetics and a tissue culture/cryopreservation program. The Huntington Botanical Gardens Herbarium (HNT) contains over 10,000 specimens of vascular plants from around the world, with particular emphasis on plants from Mexico, Central America and South America. Important collections include those of F. Boutin, J. P. Folsom, D. R. Hodel, D. de Laubenfels, M. Kimnach and R. Moran. Plant families well-represented include Arecaceae, Cactaceae, Crassulaceae, Euphorbiaceae, and desert plants worldwide. Our tissue and DNA banks are a growing representation of our living collections as well as material from collecting expeditions and research-based field work.

FIOCRUZ/CLIOC, acting as a "Biological Resource Centre" (as defined by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development, OECD), is dedicated to the preservation, storage, distribution, taxonomic characterization, and identification of Leishmania and associated information, thus contributing to the scientific and technological development of Brazil. In addition to developing specific research projects, CLIOC meets the demands of public research and education institutions or industry sectors, providing specialized services.

The Repository Centre is providing access to biological material ranging from whole organisms (bacteria, fungi, plant material) to DNA samples of whole genomes (gDNA), organellar and sub-genomic clones and BACs or genes (ESTs). The core of our facility is a large automated sample storage and retrieval system. We integrate material and data from various sources all over Europe, being part of the EVOLTREE and Trees4Future networks.

The Herbario Nacional (MEXU by its acronym in the Index Herbariorum), under the custody of the Instituto de Biología of the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México (UNAM), holds ca. 1.6 million specimens in six collections, namely Algae, Bryophytes, Fungi, Historical Collection, Lichens, and Vascular Plants (the latter including subcollections Fruits and Seeds, Types, and Xylotheque). Nearly 1.3 million specimens are available online, in most cases including a high-resolution digital image, in our web platform IBdata 3 (www.ibdata.ib.unam.mx) and also through UNAM´s open data portal (https://datosabiertos.unam.mx/).
